AN INTERKsTING CONTEST.

The noble order of Knights of Labor has discovered that it cannot have everything it's own way, and this discovery, with other causes, is fast disintegrating the organiza- tion. The unions have good opportunity now to show what they are made of, and that they can be fairer in dealing with employers than the noble order has been. Probably some will take the opportunity while others will not.
 Unions which do not seem to have learned much are now making stir in New York city. These are the unions of barkeepera and walters. Awhile ago they issued an order insisting that all proprietors of picnic parks, concert halls and ball rooms should sign contract agreeing to conform strictly to all union rules or 8 strike would be de- clared immediately and the places would be posted as non-union places. The proprie- tors have formed an association and they do not intend to let the unions have things their own way. It is declared that under the dominion of the unions proprietors are com- pslled to employ dishonest or incompetent bartenders or walters if sent to them by the unions. Should they fail to do 30 8 walking delegate informs them that strike will be ordered forthwith. Proprietors are also pro- hibited from taking one of their barkeepers from behind the bar, where he is of no prac- cal use, and putting him behind another bar in the same establishment. They are al lowed to place cashier behind bar, but under no circumstances is he to handle a glass. A superintendent may also be ems ployed, but he is prohibited from working behind bar, even during momentary rush of business. A violation of these rules sub jects the offending person to fine. If a waiter re6lls an empty bottle with wine left in the glasses standing on table, and is caught in the very act of selling the rehlled bottle to customer, proprietors are restrict ed from dismissing him for fear of strike. The union declares it merely mistake on the part of the waiter, and, though an in- vestigation is promisd, no opportunity is afforded the proprietor to appear before the union to substantiate the charge. Proprie- tors are given no right to complain of wait- CTS detected in charging customer 15 cents for 5-cent cigar, or failing to return proper change or even keeping it altogether. Neither is incompetency recognized as a cause for dismissal when the man is sent by | the union.
 And so forth and so on. The fight be- tween the union in this case will be an inter- | esting one There is little doubt as te its ! result. The unions will have to be reasona- ble

ADR lMATIO EXECUTION.
The Most Remarkable Hanging Il
 San Francisco. [Compiled From H. H. Bancroft's Popular Tribl

Sam Francisco.
 [Compiled From H. H. Bancroft's Popular Tribu-
 nals.
 One of the most dramatic executions that ever took place in California was that of Brace and Hetherington by the great vigi- lance committee of San Francisco. Both men were given fair trial and both were condemned to death. At the time of the hanging the committee building looked like @ perfect fortress. Cannon bristled through the breastwork of dirt-flled bags in frsnt of the structure, commanding the street ap- brooches in every direction. On the roof were several more pieces of artillery. It became generally known about the city that two men at least were to be executed by thu vieilants and impelled by morbid love of the horrible an immense concouIss of specta- tors agsem bled, filling the streets, balconies, windows and roofs for four or five squares around. But they were unable to approach nearer than a square of the place of execu- tion The thoroughly drilled and equipped infantry of the vigilants, comprising some six thousand men. were out in full force. Companies marched from the building with heavy tread and took their places at various points commanding every approach to the committee building Beyond these cavalry were stationed Loaded brass cannon were placed at every corner of the square, and the gunners stood by with torches ready lighted
 A scaffold was erected in the open street in front of the building, rising high above the dense square of soldiers, four or five deep, that surrounded it. It consisted of @ platform eight feet square. elevated ten feet above the street on four heavy posts. Seven

The fact that after thorough inquiry the Austrian government has cancelled all those clauses of Bells telephone patent which re- late to the telephone, allowing to remain in force only those which refer to multiple teleg- raphy, is not very cheerful news to the ups holders of the Bell monopoly in this country. The Austrian government finds that certain clauses should be made null and void because they claim for Bell discoveries made by other inventors and published years before his ap- plieation was filed, and that other clauses should be cancelled because they seek to give to Bell the exclusive use of certain scientific principles which are not patentable.
 Judge Powers of Bennington, Vermont. has made some fame. In examining five for signers who presented themselves for natural ization he questioned each of them as to whether they belonged to any socialist, ni- hilist, anarchist or other organization inim- ical to the government of the United States. After which, in a few pointed remarks, he explained the law in such cases, and ex- pressed an opinion that it was the duty of the courts to exclude from citizenship all foreigners who are either enemies of the United States by reason of belonging to such organizations as those named or in sympathy with the same. Judge Powers course de- serves imitation.

Two Pennsylvania Women Settle Quarrel

through four rounds, marquis of Queensberry
rules. Four men and two female friends of
the combatants were the only witnesses A
referee was chosen, and the warriors in cal
ico came to the scratch with their sleeves
rolled up over their elbows. At the call of
time they went at it in fierce fashion Itwas
soon evident that Weidman had the most sci
ence, and she battered her opponent in saw
age manner. Dugan was game, however,
and in the second round started the claret
from her antagonists nose. In the third
round Weidman landed a terrific right
handed blow on Dugan's eye. discoloring that
optic and sending the recipient to the carpet
Both women were weak and decidedly
groggy when time for the fourth round was
called, After considerable cawing and
reckless slugging, Weidman landed again on
Dugan's eye with straight-arm blow, knock
her clear off her feet. The blow settled her,
and Weidman was declared the winner II
was some time before Dugan fully recovered,
and her face presented quite a sorry sight
Weidman was also marked up considerably.
Weidman has another grievance to settle
with another female of the town and mill
